Jacob Blaustein, president of the American Jewish Committee, in a message to members of his organization in 500 cities, made public during the week-end, urged support of and confidence in the United Nations and criticized Yakov A. Malik, Soviet delegate to the U.N., for using “obstructionist tactics” in the Korean situation.
“Only as the American people keep themselves correctly informed about the facts which Mr. Malik is seeking to distort can we and our fellow citizens prevent his tactics from succeeding,” Mr. Blaustein said.
“We cannot afford to ignore the obstructionist tactics of the Soviet delegate which are obviously devised to prevent the free nations from taking action under the leadership of the United Nations in bringing peace to Korea. If the United Nations is kept from taking proper action in Korea there will be little hope of stopping Communist aggression elsewhere by action of the U.N.,” he declared.
